NEW JERSEY ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PROGRAM USEPA PUBLIC AWARENESS OF SRF ASSISTANCE REQUIREMENTS

Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Seabrook Water Facility, including the construction of a new 400,000-gallon water tower on Parsonage Road. The cost of this Project, $3.7 million, has been financed by the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB). The NJWB is a State Revolving Fund program jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (Infrastructure Bank) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the Infrastructure Bank to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.

This project will provide water quality benefits by replacing the existing 250,000-gallon water tower with a larger capacity tower. This will provide storage of safe, clean water for public use, including storage for fire safety, for residents and businesses in, specifically, the Seabrook Region, but generally, all the residents of Upper Deerfield Township that are connected to the Public water system.

State Revolving Fund Programs around the nation provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
